Abstract:  Objective  To observe the expression of calpain-2 in the left atrum of patients with rheumatic atrial fibrillation, and to explore its roles in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. Methods  A total of 39 patients with rheumatic heart disease who received surgical valve replacement were divided into two groups: the atrial fibrillation group (n=23) and sinus rhythm group (n=16). The expression of calpain-2 was detected with LSAB immunohistochemical and the Real-time PCR technology. Results  The deltaCt of calpain-2 mRNA of the atrial fibrillation group (0.091±0.035) was higher than that of the sinus rhythm group (0.066±0.022, P=0.017). Brown particle deposits were observed in the left atrial myocytes in both groups, but the epicardial and endocardial cells showed no brown particles. The average optical density values of calpain-2 of the atrial fibrillation group and sinus rhythm group were (0.92±0.17) and (0.65 ± 0.01)(P<0.001). Calpain-2 levels and left atrial systolic diameter were correlated (r=0.929, P<0.01). Conclusion  Calpain-2 exists in the left atrial myocytes. The expression of calpain-2 increases significantly in case of atrial fibrillation.
